Whittlesey North West

Whittlesey North West ward encompasses a mix of residential streets and agricultural land on the western edge of the town. The area is defined by its proximity to the Fenland landscape, with drainage channels and open fields characterising its outer limits. Housing is primarily concentrated closer to the town centre, featuring a range of property types from older terraces to more modern developments. The ward functions as a residential gateway to the surrounding rural Fenland.

The local economy has historical ties to brickmaking, with the former clay pits now repurposed as the popular King's Dyke Nature Reserve. Daily life centres on local shops and services along Station Road and the community facilities at the Manor Leisure Centre. Regular rail services provide a direct link to Peterborough, supporting commuting patterns. The annual Straw Bear Festival, a unique traditional custom originating in the town, draws visitors to the area.
